Unfortunately I find sincerity hard to detect at times online.
That's probably because there is so little of it anymore, it's becoming unfamiliar.
But it's an odd word in a way,Certain points of view.. . .While a satirist might be sincere in their dislike of their target,
It's not a target, it's a person.
Might want to open people's eyes (From their view),They often engage in deception, mockery, grotesque parody, that accentuates a 'side of an issue, revealing a truth (From their view),But without honest admission of the good points of their target,It just becomes a strawman,And one suddenly doubts the satirist's objectivity, truth, or honesty.
Maybe that's because they aren't being honest with themselvs, and we can all see right through it.
One sees instead an individual with a compulsion, with a grudge, a hatred,So close focused, that they can only see one side to an issue,Become black and white, no gray, no color.
It’s obviously deeply personal, Ithink there is a person in their life, certainly a Christian, whom they havevery bad feelings toward but are afraid to confront directly, so they rage atthem on line. Judging by the maturity level ofthe diatribes, the person that hurt them did so at an early age, so psychologically they are stuck, like an eight-year-oldthrowing a tantrum for decades.
Seem unable to give and take in a conversation,
Or too afraid of the person to have theconversation directly
Only 'ever trying to manipulate it, towards their conclusion and goals, their hatred and narrow view.
That’s why it’s so transparentlyobsessive, they are telling some Christian off who isn’t here, so it’s nevergoing to be enough.
Not that I'm not narrow viewed myself at times,Not that I never mock people myself at times.
Same here, more often thannecessary at times, sometimes my sarcasm seems to have a mind of its own.
But I don't think it's positive,And it's not something I try to do all the time.
It’s certainly not positive, but a lot of the time it’s intentionally meant to be negative. For a lot of posts on here, hostility is the right thing to do, it's a matter of taking a stand.
Sometimes I look back on one of those post and think, “Good one, nailed them right between the eyes”, and other times I’ll read one and think, “Damn Sidewalker, who pissed in your Wheaties that day”.

Yet another pardon for Trump to sign. That's just more paperwork for Trump.
Convicts can't grant pardons...you need to be a President or a Governor for that.

Sorry Stephen, but I'm just not interested in debating the subject in depth with you,Times I've done so in the past, have indicated to me that you're not interested in a good faith conversation, on the subject of religion.He [Stephen] and his buddy Brother D aren't the least bit serious, they are strictly trolls, and really bad at it too.I wouldn't mind having a serious discussion with you on the resurrection of Jesus, for instance or any part of the bible. Would you like me to start a thread ?
Nope, I don't feed trolls.
I find it sad that they can be so bad a trolling.That is because I am not trolling. Every time I start a discussion on the scriptures for instance the Reverend Tradesecret in particular always ends up contradicting himself, the scriptures then results to insulting me and then bailing out. But not before he's told many tall stories about himself.
Gee whiz, a troll tht denies being a troll, that's not something you see every day.
Oh wait, yes it is, it's the troll mantra.
here is his last example : He joins the discussion here >>https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/8152-the-story-of-the-certain-witnesses?page=2&post_number=45Will you do the same?
No thanks, I don't want to risk it, I'm afraid you might just bore me to death.
You don't need me anyway, Tradesecret is your life, your entire reason for being, I don't want to come between you.
I feel sorry for you, but not enough to waste my time playing your pathetic game. You have Tradesecret and Brother D, sadly, that's all you really need.

Trolls are supposed to upset people, supposed to suck people in, get people to take them seriously enough to upset them, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so terrible at it as these two clowns. Nobody engages, they play off each other with infantile approaches that I suppose they think is clever, but nobody cares, nobody even reads it, it certainly doesn't get a reaction. If they can get thier rocks off calling Jesus a mass murderer then fine, but saying it thousands of times just bores the living shit out of people.
I find it sad that they can be so bad a trolling, its pathetic in it's simplicity, and the fact that they are simple ignored seems to be lost on them. I know we are supposed to react and be upset, but all I can muster is to feel sorry for them, it's must be a pathetic to be who they are if this preposterous persona feels better to them.
I'm pretty sure the point of trolling is not to be invisible and have no effect, but hey, sadly, this is what they pretend to be, I can't imagind how much worse it must be for them to be real.
I really think everyone just feels sorry for them.

Just one logical fallacy after another because you’re too uneducated on the subject matter to formulate an emotionally and intellectually intelligent position from which to argue or or against.Also, it is always the wrong me screaming racist the most and loudest who are truly in fact, the actual one being a racist.

Infinity is a mathematical concept, an actual infinity is logically incoherent, even if one could exist, we couldn't know it.
For an actual imnfinity you would need to haver a "completed" set with an infinite number of members, which is logically incoherent as a completed set and an infinite set are mutually exclusive concepts.

Only a less than intelligent or not intellectually curious person would accept the notion that it is valid to dismiss the indictments on the basis of any previously held belief about corporate media.You mean the Corporate media cartel talking endlessly about an insurrection that happened 3 years ago with no indictments for insurrection? I agree.You would have to be an absolute genius to riddle that one out.
Perhaps they felt they had to cover it because 300 million Americans watched it on TV.

According to you how much he weighs? For a guy of this height I would say 215lbs is correct.

Trump probably weighs himself on 2 scales with one leg on each scale, The he says, see I am 215 poundsand I have confirmed it with 2 different scales. His base would think he is brilliant to double check his weight.
He lies about his weight and cheats about his height, before having his height measured. he takes Viagra and of course, that makes him taller.

I thought Ramaswamy came off as Bufoonish in the debate, apparently the MAGA crowd votes for Bufoons, so maybe that was intentional.
The entire debate was Bufoonish, like watching a big time wrestling brawl but more cartoonish, it was a pathetic statement about what Donald Trump has done to the Republican party.

Hinduism is monotheisticThat’s not what I’m seeing.
Perhaps that's because you are looking at it wrong.
The Trimurti are the most prominent deities of contemporary Hinduism. This consists of Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer. Their feminine counterparts are Saraswati, the wife of Brahma, Lakshmi, the wife of Vishnu, and Parvati (or Durga), the wife of Shiva.
All of these Divine forms are in reality, One and the same Universal Spirit, the various gods and goddesses are manifestations of the one Brahman. Tthis includes the Muslim Allah, the Christian Trinity, Native American Spirits, and many others, the Hindu belief is that there are many many paths, but they all lead to the same mountaintop.

Very good tune, thanks for that, but I'd have to say the rest of this thread is just full of crap drivel.

generally speaking, I think "liberals less Islamophobic than conservatives" because liberals tend toward the celebration of diversity, inclusion, and value differences. Conservative tend toward the rejection of diversity, divisiveness, and exclusion of differences, especially lately.So you state two polar value combinations:
- celebration of diversity, inclusion, and value differences
- rejection of diversity, divisiveness, and exclusion of differences
Which of these do Islamic societies and Islam as a religion itself lean towards, in your opinion?
I think Islamic societies lean more toward the second list, but the religion, Islam itself tends more towards the first. But that's not the point, because the first set is more characteristic of liberals,they are going to be less Islamophobic, conservatives are more intolerant of different beliefs, cultures, etc.
I get the point you are trying to make, but I think it makes my point rather than yours. You think because Muslim countries are generally more like the second list that liberals should be more Islamophobic, but it's conservatives that see the differences between Muslims and themselves and reject based on those differences, liberals are inclined to inclusion when they see differences, even when the differences line up with conservative values.

FYI, Hindus do not believe in the Christian God, you know, the one that impregnates 14 year old virgins.
That isn't accurate, Hinduism embraces religious diversity as different manifestations of God, there are plenty of Christians that are also Hindu. There are multiple paths to the Godhead, Christianity is included in the path of love.

But beyond blathering, I don't think so, people who are afraid of everything would throw a comedy of a civil war.If you knew anything about war you would know that people are much more dangerous when they are afraid of everything. Fear makes you good tactician. Fear doesn't mean surrender.We won't even have to use the thing they are the most terrified of, gasp, black people!I marched with black people on Jan 6 pal and I'm bisexual. As in the first civil war you delude yourself about the nature of the enemy. That is why these things happen when so many can see them coming, the human capacity for self-delusion is infinite.

For a civil war people would have to turn off the TV, log off the internet, quit whining, get off the couch, and take action.I did, I went to protest on Jan 6.It should go without saying that I was not convinced there will be no civil war lol
Plenty of the clown people are talking a good game, that's always good for a few laughs.
But beyond blathering, I don't think so, people who are afraid of everything would throw a comedy of a civil war.
I can see it now, an advancing army in red noses and big floppy shoes comes over the hill to see a row of Drag Queens and the terrified army runs away screaming, then from the rear and right up the middle of the whimpering crybabies we send a gay parade, terrified, they will all surrender and willingly march back to thier trailer parks.

I find it kind of funny that the countries in Europe that were INVADED by the NATIONAL SOCIALISTS are the countries that have adopted socialism so much more fully than the US.
Nationl Socialists and Socialists are two completely different things, National Socialists are Nazis, and the political ideology is Fascism. Fascism and Socialism are lmost diametrically opposed political ideologies, National Socialism is about consolidating power in a dictator, socialism is about distributing power and authority. National Socialism was formed as opposition to Socialism. There's nothing funny about the countries the Nazi's invaded being Socislists, the Nazi's lost, Socialism prevailed.
We see socialism as a boogeyman
Yes, Socialism is opposed to Capitalism, that makes in a boogeyman, which is why the right has turned Socialism into a name calling strategy, but the real boogeyman is Fascism, a third of this country has embraced it without even knowing it.
It's like Deja Vu all over again.
